Today, we woke up at 3 am and after a short packing session were taken by small truck to the Frei air force base. We helped to load our first flight but just before the airplane was ready to go, the mechanics detected some minor problems with the ski mechanisms, so everything was canceled until lunch time.

At noon, our first group made of Francisco Aquino and Marcelo Arevalo, left with a lot of food, safety and cooking gear. The Twin Otter Came came back after 2 and a half hours and we immediately loaded the gear selected for our second flight. On that flight we had Jefferson Simões, Heber Passos, and myself plus more food and some weather station parts. Our third flight was mainly science cargo and fuel. The fourth and last flight came really late, around 9.30 pm and the rest of the team came with it: Ricardo Jaña, Luiz Fernando, and AlexandreAlencar.

While we were waiting for our flights, we moved everything into cargo lines and marked it with bamboo poles. We also setup the kitchen tent, four Scott tents for people and one tent for the bath. At the end of the day we had hot drinks and went to bed at midnight quite tired.
